Therapeutic Exercise

Lets Keep it General

100

This law states that bone and soft tissue will respond to the physical demands placed upon them, causing them to remodel or realign along lines of tensile force.

Wolff's Law

200

This PNF technique involves a passive stretch, followed by an isometric contraction of the antagonist, and then a further passive stretch.

Hold-Relax Technique

300

This acronym stands for the concept that the human body will adapt specifically to the types of stressors placed upon it.

Specific Adaptations to Imposed Demands (SAID Principle)

400

This neurophysiological phenomenon occurs during a PNF "Contract-Relax" stretch when the GTO inhibits the tension of the muscle being stretched.

Autogenic Inhibition

500

An individual is taking beta-blockers and has an altered physiological response to exercise. Instead of Heart Rate what is a better measurement for this individual?  

Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE)

Active Assisted Range of Motion (AAROM)

300

To increase shoulder IR, what type of joint mobilization would you utilize

400

At what point of the "setting phase" of shoulder flexion does the scapula begin to activate

Around 60 Degrees of shoulder flexion

500

What is the style of Shoulder replacement surgery allows the patient to regain ROM in shoulder that would've of otherwise been limited

All About the Knee No Cap

100

What motion of the knee is crucial to regain post-ACL reconstruction

Full Knee Extension

200

An example of an exercise to regain knee flexion and extension

Flexion: Heel Slides, Prone knee bends w/ band if necessary

Extension: Prone Knee Hangs, Heel Props
